The Department of Homeland Security confirms it started a sweeping immigration crackdown in New Orleans today.

There are also multiple reports that the Trump administration has started an immigration enforcement operation in the Minneapolis-St. Paul region.

That's after the president repeatedly disparaged the Somali community in that area, which is the largest in the country. Our White House correspondent,

Liz Landers, is with us. And Liz, I understand you have more information about how the president's

immigration crackdown is being carried out. Jeff, the News Hour can confirm that Border Patrol,

not immigration and customs enforcement, is primarily running the New Orleans operation. The Trump

administration has used that strategy

to crack down on immigration in several other cities this year. And today, the face of these

operations, senior border patrol agent Greg Bovino, was spotted in a Home Depot parking lot

in a suburb of the city. Scenes in New Orleans this week, a business warning federal immigration agents to stay out,

while a Methodist church praises the contributions of immigrants.

The Big Easy is now the latest major city to become part of the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

The Department of Homeland Security announcing today the start of an operation dubbed

Catahoula Crunch that will target, quote, criminal illegal aliens that have been released

from jail, a stated effort that's moved across the country this year.

In Charlotte, North Carolina last month, Border Patrol agents were seen smashing a car window,

chasing people in parking lots, and conducting arrests on the side of the road as part of what it called Operation

Charlotte's Web. The Department of Homeland Security says at least 425 people were arrested in that

operation, though the total number of people arrested with prior criminal records is not clear.

The crackdown there sparked protests.
